Journey towards autonomous teams | A coach's toolkit
summary
Defines five practical dimensions of team autonomy and supplies a workshop format plus a reusable toolkit that coaches can run in a half‑day. Uses a team‑health survey applied to about 300 customer organizations to map where teams sit, produce a prioritized improvement backlog, and expose gaps in authority, accountability, and constraints. Delivers concrete artifacts: exercise templates, accountability maps, post‑mortem prompts and suggestions for lightweight coordination (eg. enterprise WhatsApp/alarms) so teams can test changes and measure whether autonomy actually increases.
